Scrapbook Circle Blog Hop!

Scrapbook Circle is celebrating it's 4th year in business. So we wanted to do a special blog hop to celebrate.

So, welcome to my blog! If you have come from Jill's blog you are on the right track! If your not sure the order, scroll down and you can see where you are to go.

I wanted to share with you a layout I did using the *just released* May kit

I'm usually inspired by layouts done by others. But I was watching a movie and they happened to have bead garland as a decoration. Ya know, it hangs from the door frame and you walk through it? I had just cleaned my kids rooms and found these sequins that matched perfectly. It seemed to match the age of the picture--taken in the 70's when macrame was HUGE! :) --wonder if that will come back too? ANYWAY, my layout came together!

Alright here comes the RAK part. I know you have been patiently waiting... Answer my question and your name will be put in a drawing. (it's good I promise--it's got GLITZ) The winner will be announced on Wednesday.

Where does your inspiration come from?

In case you started with me and aren't sure where to start here is the list of blogs you need to hop to:

Oh dear, those sequins look AWESOME! Beautiful layout!My inspiration mostly comes from other scrappers. I love looking at other people's work, there is just so much talent out there!Thanks for the chance to win!

yeah, seriously LOVE the sequins, and what a fabby vintage-esque page!

i'm inspired by just about anything - some funky ad on tv, a bold pattern i see on a piece of furniture, colors and patterns on clothing and bags, whatever... sometimes it's just a matter of looking outside and seeing some awesome swirly colors in the sky or the clouds. EVERYTHING inspires me! it's just a matter of finding uninterrupted crafty time, and sitting down and getting to it! :) (so, ultimately, there's loads of inspiration out there, but i just hope like crazy that when i'm able to play, i can muster up some of those ideas!)

I love that you got inspiration from a movie and made it come to life in your LO with the sequins! Beautiful Lo!!My inspiration comes from the scrappy products that I can't help but buy! I love the product lines out there and when I see something I get an idea and jot it down in my journal! I love to surf the net for great Lo's like yours and get ideas!

I arrived at your blog from this hop and have never been here before...that garland is a great touch...I am inspired by a variety of things...other LOs or cards that I see, colors in my papers, the subjects in my photographs(usually my adorable kids, music, challenges, friends and more...thanks for offering the RAK

WOW...those sequins caught my eye right off of the bat!!! LOVE THEM!!! As far as "my" inspiration...it definately comes from my kiddos!!! The four of them are always doing little things that require me to take photos... which in turn, means I gotta scrap 'em!!! I *heart* my kiddos!!!

Oh Gosh that strip of sequins-I soo soo love that! Okay to answer your question well honestly my inspriration comes from all the glorious creations I find online. I tend to see something and then my mind leads me elsewhere-needless to say its an adventure and I dont even have to leave the house-LOL!

Love the sequins!!! My inspiration primarily comes from my children..the funny, quirky, silly things they do and say each day keeps me in stitiches and provides a ton of inspiration. I always have a notebook with me to jot down their antics and ideas for layouts! And I also get tons of inspiration from blog hopping and sketch challenge sites!!! Thanks for adding to my inspo. today!

Ooh love the vintage look you got on your LO! My inspiration usually comes from my daily surroundings but most of the time is from the photo I'm about to scrap. I love to connect the picture with elements that evoke the emotion of the pic. Sounds cheesy but it makes me scrap more! Thanks for the chance to win!

This lo is so adorable...my dd is a smiler also. My inspiration comes from my dd, dh, my mom, my mil, blogs, magazines. I started scrapping my dd when my mil got me into the cricut. I just love that little machine in a big way! Thanks for the hop! My blog is http://scrappinlilscreativeside.blogspot.com/ ...come take a look if you like.

Love your sequins, they turned out really cute. I, too, am inspired by others. I love to look at layouts online, in magazines, and in my scrapbook buddies albums. Other times, I just go off a sketch. I love to ceate a page off a sketch and than look at what others have come up with. It's so fun to see the many different ideas all from one sketch.
